One of the unique features of living here is getting clothes. All over The Gambia are tailors who can whip up just about anything from a tie to a suit if you give them the fabric. It is super cheap and the craftmanship is superb. I have yet to utilize these tailors, but plenty of friends have, and I am hoping to get around to it soon. I'm getting pretty tired of the same 'ole clothes I brought.
Check out this link to a local tailor in the Serekunda market (just down the way from where I live.) The scenes are quite familiar to me.

Does this blog represent the views of the U.S. Government and/or the Peace Corps? Oh, just noticed the disclaimer. Sorry.
By the way, I think I'm a suit size 38R or 40R. And I still don't want a calendar.
Hey, I heard rumor that you don't get on aim anymore but use a different tool. Care to share?? I miss talking to you!! Let me know.
